Huh? Enlighten me.
He did fart in an elevator where developers have been inside and since then no one wants to work with NOA.

3rd parties coming up with any type of excuse not to release a game on a Nintendo console.

I'm not saying it was good, just that it was a Nintendo game with online as a major focus. The online component of the game was directly influenced by PC shooters of the era, even if the server list and full suite of options was arbitrarily limited to registered friends.

You know what's good about Nintendo finally getting into the achievements/trophy game (this is still happening right?), it's that so many of their franchises lend themselves to it. I could imagine myself going for that type of stuff much more often than I do now (only 4 platinums on PS3, 2 of them were comically easy).

There's a meme around here regarding Nintendo's relationship between Nintendo and third parties.. and I take credit for being its author.
Over the years, we Nintendo fans have gotten pretty used to sights like this:
And since this pattern's origins in the GameCube days, we've heard all sorts of reasons for why third-party titles were going to every platform under the sun - and why they were deliberately avoiding the Nintendo home console. We've heard it all, and many of these excuses when held-up to scrutiny reek of utter bullshit. This prompted me to posit a theory: the developer in question at that time was in an elevator with Reggie, and Reggie farted. This was enough of an excuse for the developer to decide.. "hmm.. nah. We'll make a Nokia version instead."
I mean, "because Reggie farted that one time" makes as much sense as many of the real excuses they provide.
In fact, the developer bullshit isuse has me suggesting that we play Developer Bullshit Bingo during E3. Here's my card; it's a work in progress..
So.. ReggieFarts-level bullshit is paper-thin bullshit from developers. That's all. Hope that this helps!

The only thing that sucks worse than Rare is my penmanship.
What game was that on the TV btw? haha

Pikmin, of course.
Your post reminds me of a project website I'm considering making during the WiiU generation - www.VennDiagramVideogames.com, a websites that tracks multi-platform and exclusive games across the platforms.

I'd like to see Nintendo not mandate the achievements or mandate the advertisement of them.
For instance the said game could have 4 or 5 advertised achievements. And the rest were completely hidden and up to players and the community to figure out...if the dev wanted. Could really bring back the old school mentality of people coming together to tear apart a game, and also being a part of a newborn community of players.

Oh I know, their on 360 too. But I'm just saying it would be neat to boot up the new HD Zelda, only knowing of 3 "official" achievements. And stumbling upon the other 48-98 by pure luck, skill or community effort.
I'd also like to see for at least Nintendo first party for achievements to be actual achievements. Like speedrunning NSMBMii in X or Y time, or beating 100 Man Brawl with Mario without blocking or taking 50% damage.

ahh I'm not a fan of the too difficult ones. Nothing turns me off than realizing I'll probably never be able to get them all, that's the number 1 reason I don't go for them more often, I look through them, see 1 or 2 ridiculous ones, then just not bother
Challenging is good but nothing CRAZYY.
I hope that's a good thing, haha..
I love math humor, especially in graphical form. I have a math degree, and one of my stats professors had a thing for joking around on Fridays with comical graphs, charts, etc.

Promoting OCD like achievements goes against the "You've been playing for a while now, how about a break?" message they put out with the Wii. Plus, doesn't it discourage new game buying if you are rewarding people for going over the same game over and over to get every achievement?
I prefer the occasional tournament or special challenge to reward devoted users. (Collecting every bug and POE in Twilight Princess, for example, was a huge waste of time, IMO.)

Yeah.. an achievements program would only serve to enable and encourage my completionist OCD. Being recognized and rewarded with little trinkets or coins or outfits for my Mii for the crap I'm already inclined to do? That'd be a bit of a change. Positive reinforcement.

Not saying it has to apply to every game. But for a guy like me who is OCD, it's nice to see it there. Mario for instance, need this, Smash needs this, Metroid needs this. Zelda, F-Zero and Kirby not so much. But there's surely a valid place for super insane hard achievements in certain Nintendo games, primarily the ones which attract those types of audiences.
Molyneux can make games for Nintendo now right?

Can you imagine how insane people would go with an achievement system in Animal Crossing?

Yup, it would be crazy.
Almost as crazy as Nintendo implementing a Animal Crossing-type "Mii Crossing" into the main system OS. Imagine how that would sell if plugged in commercial after commercial, with full FB/Twitter/YT integration.
Edit: Just for a FYI, the original Animal Crossing was a tiny game able to fit purely in the GCN's memory. Now think about a AC lite version with Mii's, and consider the recent speculation about the surprisingly large OS memory print... ???
My E3 prediction is they will be doing something that is OS-based like this that will help the console sell itself, sort of how Wii Sports was for Wii.
It sucks to see you go. Hopefully, Direct will surprise us all and you'll be back to chill with us sooner than you think. Either that, or the Investors' conference will bring us some tiny crumbs.
So go get that schoolwork done! Or do what I did many years ago in college: get as much work done in advance as possible, thus freeing you up to play play play after you're ahead.
Cheers!

On that Lucasarts thing, people need to remember that LA has been disastrously mismanaged for many years now. Even had they begun developement on a lightsaber game for the wii, the likelihood of it being canned or releasing as super-shitty shovelware would've been high.
Even were they to reform Factor 5 into its glory days and give us a new Rogue Squadron, I would have zero faith in that being a good game.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.

Genius! You should add "The Wii U is a special case.... if I were to make a game for the Wii U, it would have to be a unique game."
True, fair enough. I think we're just being wistful about what might have been. Actually, it's a pretty fair metaphor for the Nintendo/third parties relationship over the past generation. A bit sad. A bit angering.

It really is angering, because you'd think this current generation would've been ripe for more Dark Forces games, if to at least ride on the coattails of the COD craze. They couldn't even get that right. Ugh.
I don't have access to any Paint (on my iPad) until maybe this weekend; the computer and 85% of my belongings are still packed-up for this move, sadly. But I'll take note - I definitely like it, haha..
BTW.. do you own the stitched dolls in your avatar? I'm decorating a new townhome, and Zelda stuff everywhere is now allowable, per the other half. This was a pretty big victory for me. Posters, stained glass, collectables.. it's ON!

Yep. I only own one... (wearing Green.) Someone was selling it on eBay, and I was the winning bid. The other colours are a result of my Avatar being messed with in the "Defile the Avatar above you" thread.

Stained glass you say?

Thete are some modest stained glass Zelda items on etsy that are pretty nice, but I also have a cousin who might be doing a window for me at some point in the distant future. If I were made of money, I'd be commissioning some replicas of those Wind Waker windows. Gorgeous. And my favorite Zelda. <3
Meanwhile, my mother-in-law has volunteered to make a quilt for the upcoming gaming room's sofa. But we need to settle on a design. i'm thinking of something 8-bit, just to keep it simple and clean-looking.
I'd love to see that!

I found a Makar on etsy. That's all I can find on short notice.
And I still can't get over how quickly Nintendo Direct snuck-up on us. If I were a betting man and had to pick one thing that Nintendo might reveal info on, I'd speculate that we might hear some limited info on online features.
No, seriously, don't bother. It will be a snoozefest.

I bet we get the name and final design of the WiiU.
Sounds about right. If there will indeed be a name change, it'd most likely happen tonight at Direct or next week during Investors'.
*fingers crossed*
